YOUR CHILDREN ARE NOT PROJECTS TO BE FIXED
I spent years trying to be the man with all the answers.
I thought my job was to correct every mistake and solve every problem my kids had.
The Crucible of Loss taught me a painful lesson.
When I lost the daily connection to my children, I realized I had not been listening for years.
I was just waiting for my turn to talk.
I was trying to fix them so I could feel like a successful father.
If you do not listen to the small things now, they will not tell you the big things later.
They will find someone else who will listen.
You might not like who that person is.
Stop being the consultant in your home.
Start being the father who actually hears.
The Drill:
- Set a 10-minute timer when your child starts talking to you today.
- Do not offer a single piece of advice or a solution.
- Only use phrases like "Tell me more" or "How did that feel?"
What is one thing your child told you recently that you tried to fix instead of just hearing?
